Donating

Where does the money for scholarships come from? Most of the money for scholarships comes from the earnings on the Foundation’s endowment, which is made up of memorial funds and special funds. We also raise money through our Annual Financial Appeal (Phonathon and Business Appeal) and other fundraising activities such as the annual Winter event – Comedy Night, Jazz Brunch, or Dinner Dance, the Trivia Team Challenge, and the Golf Tournament.

Is a donation to TSF tax deductible? Yes, The Scholarship Foundation of Wakefield, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit corporation as designated by the IRS. Our tax ID number is 04-2444195.

I would like to establish a permanent fund in memory of a loved one. How do I go about it? A fund becomes permanent when a minimum of $10,000 has been deposited. This will enable the fund to generate enough income to provide our minimum award. Permission can be obtained to start a fund with lesser amounts provided the fund will eventually qualify as a permanent fund. These are called accumulating funds. Contact the TSF Office for further information.
